## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-03 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> **Splashtop** - my default recommendation for most remote teams. Flat per-user pricing (Pro around $8.25/user/mo, Performance ~$12.42) with unlimited-ish device access beats TeamViewer's entry commercial plan by roughly 4x on cost, and the video/audio quality holds up well for actual daily work, not just quick support sessions. If your team is "everyone needs to reach their office desktop from home," this is the answer.
> 
> **TeamViewer** - the one to pick if budget is secondary and coverage is the priority. Broadest platform reach (including odd endpoints and IoT), the deepest integration ecosystem, and the most mature compliance/audit story. Commercial pricing is steep - ~$24.90/mo single user, ~$50.90/mo for team plans - and it's the main reason people shop for alternatives.
> 
> **AnyDesk** - best when raw session responsiveness matters most. Tiny client, very low latency, good for latency-sensitive work (design, video review) and for contractors who need to connect fast without a heavy install. Pricing is per-device-ish (Professional ~$14.90/mo for up to 3 devices), which gets expensive as your fleet grows.
> 
> **Zoho Assist** - the small-team pick, especially if you're already in the Z
